impressed with the appearance of that
district that he intends TO return mex,

the view OF taking hold of a property,
it one is found to suit him. As al
ready stated, Mr.. Pearsons is on his
way to San Francisco, where he will
join party of friends to visit Egyp,
and the Upper Nile this winter; but
as he already owns a halt-interest in
4 mill and group of mines in Custer
county, he is bound to return to US.
Mr.. P-arsons owns a"shoo:ing BIO x"
in or near the Yellowstone Park,
where he maintains an Establish

horses which are at the disposal of
the friends who visit him there. Hav-
ing ample means, he only engaged il
mining as a "Ayer" or pastime, and,
having succeeded, is willing to extend
his operations.
1t is to be hoped that he. will take
hold of a good property on Wood
River or in Smoky.
